Saying you’ll keep it quiet if he pays you, makes it blackmailing.
Just go through legal channels. But now he again has upper hand because he now has your texts. Anyways you can’t win with him trying to beat him at his game. Go strictly through the lawyers/courts etc

All I said was that it would be wisest if we handled this outside of the legal system. I did not say, if. you pay me, I will keep quiet. I still think I have the upper hand, actually. I can also report his lawyer for unethical practice. His lawyer told me not to tell the judge that I lost my job, and clearly was protecting my husband's interests.
